Northamptonshire coronavirus cases now up to 20

The number of recorded covid-19 cases in Northamptonshire has risen by four in the past 24 hours.

It was announced tonight (Saturday, March 21) that there are now 20 patients who have been treated for the virus in the county, although the actual figure is likely to be much higher as only those taken to hospital are currently being tested.

This is a rise of three cases from the 17 reported on Friday evening.

The news comes as busy KGH told local schools it wouldn’t be issuing ‘key worker’ letters.
